Project Title: Purification of the atmosphere, including neutralization of harmful radiation, using Vedic science

According to Rudolf Steiner, plants extract 70% of nutrition from the atmosphere; hence, the emphasis on purification of the atmosphere.

Agnihotra is a simple process of purification of the atmosphere by specially prepared fire according to Vedic methodolgy. It has been used successfully in conjunction with Biodynamic methods to produce maximum yields and top-quality produce.

When the Chernobyl nuclear accident happened in 1986, I had a farm near Graz in Austria. The Austrian Government immediately issued that every farmer had to bring in milk and fodder for testing for radioactivity. When I did this, the inspectors were shocked, because they found only normal radioactivity levels in our milk and fodder samples while all the farmers in the surrounding area had high doses in their samples. The inspectors said it was not possible to have normal radioactivity after Chernobyl and is there anything special that I do on my farm?

I told them that my farm was using ancient Vedic technology to grow food which is now presented as HOMA Organic Farming Technology....

However, the inspectors were not interested in doing further research.

For a scientist, normally one such experience will be enough to motivate him to do further research.

This Ayurvedic technique was brought to the West by VASANT PARANJPE of INDIA who later came in contact with some ex-Soviet scientists for doing further research. After several years of research they came to the conclusion that AGNIHOTRA ASH IS THE SOLUTION TO COUNTER RADIOACTIVITY-RELATED DISEASES.

Dr. Ulrich Berk, who has been active for many years in Agnihotra work in Eastern Europe, writes the following:

There was some report from Eastern Poland that after Chernobyl, Agnihotra and Tryambakam Homa helped to reduce the radiation level, but the mode of measurement was with a pendulum. The report was published in a Journal for Radiestesie.

The only research in the sense of modern science done on that subject was by some physicists from Eastern Europe at the time of Soviet Union. The result was that Agnihotra ash is not radioactive (although the ingredients used to prepare the fires may be radioactive) and that all 92 natural chemical elements are present in Agnihotra ash.

After doing these studies, the scientists suggested that we all should eat Agnihotra ash before every meal. The reason, according to them, is that all food now is radioactive—that it has more radioactivity than the natural level of radioactivity on this planet before humans increased it in the last couple of decades. If we eat some Agnihotra ash, the body would absorb the micro-elements (such as iodine) from the ash which are not radioactive, and if later, in our food, we take in more iodine (which may be radioactive), the body would not incorporate these radioactive micro-elements, as its requirements for those would have already been fulfilled through the non-radioactive Agnihotra ash.

Alas, most of the data on this was lost in the wars which followed the breakdown of the Soviet Union, so we do not have any scientific documentation of these statements.

Also, it is not so easy to make some tests. A Geiger counter is by far too imprecise.

The following is an excerpt from the book Secrets of the Soil by Tompkins and Bird, p. 251:

"From Europe we received reports of a group of scientists in Rovinj, Yugoslavia, experimenting to establish just what Agnihotra does, and how. Their interest had been aroused by the discovery that after they burned the required ingredients in the copper pyramid their instruments failed to pick up radioactivity in the immediate area, an anomaly since the Chernobyl disaster, which irradiated, along with large parts of Europe, even their small Adriatic seaport in the province of Croatia. The Yugoslavs also learned that groups of subcontinent Indians living within the borderlands of the Soviet Union who used dried cow dung to seal their huts were unaffected by the radioactive contamination. Intrigued by these mysterious developments, the Soviets have invited one of the Yugoslav scientists, Mato Modric, a biochemist, to visit the Soviet Union to demonstrate the method of Agnihotra in the hope that it may be of value to its citizens.

"To check out this curious data we travelled to Rovinj. Mato Modric, an expert in electromagnetic fields, dowsing and geopathogenic zones, lives with his wife in a small house overlooking the harbour. Modric says he became involved in the Agnihotra phenomenon through his interest in pyramid energy. Trained in physics, he was particularly curious about the role of the special vessel made of copper and its specific ziggurat shape, a form related to the horn antennas used in high-frequency transmissions. What high frequency, he wondered, might be being amplified and broadcast by such an antenna to affect the human aura, its nadis, chakras or its kundalini? That the ash could produce disinfectant, anticoagulant and tissue-contracting effects on living matter, he said, was well established. And he said he believed the ash had pesticidal and fungicidal properties and that it might ultimately solve the problem of mineral deficiencies. It remained to be established what trace elements were in the ash, research into which was going on in such disparate places as Yugoslavia, Germany and U.S.A.

"Modric explained that he believed he was dealing with a complex that could potentially affect the whole environment, countering the toxins of modern technology developed over the last century by the industrial revolution, and that the process might have enormous implications for our very existence.

"He explained that the Agnihotra was energetically quite complex, involving at least three energetic aspects or field phenomena having to do with the fire and the ash, with radiation of an undefined nature and with ESP or psychism. `We believe we can establish the fact of an electromagnetic radiation during Agnihotra. But we are in an area beyond what conventional science considers rational, into an area of informational transfer through intermolecular and interatomic processes mediated by ultraviolet photons. It is logical to conclude that some kind of energetic mechanism is being activated which can be translated into physical meaning linked to concrete information systems that are as yet unknown, but connected to systems of resonance. We are in an area where it is not easy to prove anything. A lot of work will be necessary and it will depend upon cooperation of very many people.' "

The following quotes concerning Agnihotra and radiation are from Homa* Therapy, Our Last Chance by Vasant V. Paranjpe: (*Homa and Yajnya are synonymous terms for purification of the atmosphere through the agency of fire. Agnihotra is the main, or core, Yajnya, in Homa Therapy.)

Chapter 3—More About Agnihotra Homa

"When Agnihotra is performed, the Agnihotra smoke gathers particles of harmful radiation in the atmosphere and on a very subtle level, neutralizes their radioactive effect. Nothing is destroyed, merely changed."

“Agnihotra ash totally solves the radiation problem. Even more so Agnihotra negates its effect. Agnihotra neutralizes harmful radiation and cleanses the planet."

Chapter 4--Yajnya, the Great Material Aid

"When radioactive particles and poisonous gases are released from the earth's core, our only protection is YAJNYA ."

We are happy to share Agnihotra and teach it to whoever may be interested, free of charge, with the Biodynamic community.
